Nourish Me Chocolate on Chocolate Tartlet

My mum used to say that you don’t need a whole heap of friends. Just one or two good ones. I think I was in high school at the time she said this. Such a brutal time for some of us girls when friends are a rare commodity and popularity is an ever changable dynamic. At least it was for me.

I wish I had more confidence back then to know that none of it really matters in the long term and we are all fighting to our battles hoping to stay afloat and in the mix.

These little tartlets remind me of the friends you want in your life. Magnificent, fulfilling, richly satisfying & exquisitely subtle. Sometimes just like friends when you have a chocolate treat this good – one or two is all you need.

I’m thinking of making some even teenier tinier ones for my twins 4th birthday (and yes you will notice that I did manage to sneak some avo in there when nobody was watching!)

I hope you enjoy. Alisa

Sometimes treats can be this simple! This is a really yummy combo and if you have kids who only eat half a banana stick it in coconut put it in the fridge and it won't go brown and you can use it as a snack for later! Easy peasy.
